Sheila Westera was honored with the Atelierul Award- The Iconic Ones, during the exhibition „I Don't Shine, I Have Something to Say" at Venice Design Week 2025.
Sheila is crafting unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces that highlights the natural beauty of stones, in an innovative and unexpected way.
Her creations have increasingly become a reflection of her own experiences. She became
intrigued by our obsession with shiny objects-what does gold genuinely symbolize? Sheila challenged the idea of adornment itself and uncovered the beauty that can be found within it.And that's why I chose her as a laureate of the Atelierul Award - The iconic ones.
